Wrestling was always more than a sport to me — it was an outlet that provided a sense of purpose and a community of lifelong mentors. I coach to recreate that safe "happy place" for others, ensuring every athlete feels the same sense of belonging I found on the mat. This mission is rooted in my primary pillar of integrity: true character is forged in the disciplined habits an athlete maintains when no one is watching. My journey began at Madison East High School and led me to UW–Whitewater, where I served as a team captain and earned the 2019 Most Valuable Wrestler award with a 40–5 record. On the mat, I specialize in technical systems like the front headlock and mat returns to help athletes find their competitive edge. Off the mat, I leverage my experience as an apprenticeship manager to guide others in their careers, and in my free time I enjoy traveling, golfing, and spending quality time with my family.
I grew up in a wrestling family and began competing at age 6. My early exposure to the sport gave me a natural understanding of wrestling fundamentals and a deep love for the sport.
At Madison East High School, I was known for my technical prowess and became a regional champion. My attention to detail and strategic approach set me apart from competitors, earning recognition for my sophisticated wrestling style.
At UW-Whitewater, I served as team captain and achieved the 2019 Most Valuable Wrestler award with an impressive 40–5 record. I also earned a 2023 Conference Runner-Up finish, demonstrating my elite-level wrestling abilities.
I have coaching experience at Case High School as an assistant coach and served as both the girls head coach and assistant coach at Madison East High School. I joined Gorilla Lab to share my extensive technical knowledge and passion for developing the next generation of wrestlers.
